Windows message box

[aah31]

Does any one know how to configure the library node to use windows message box's in a labview VI?

I'm sorry, but your question is not clear. Are you referring to using the Call Library Function Node? And what "windows message box's [sIC]" are you referring to? Are you asking how to use the Call Library Function Node? If so, there is an extensive example that ships with LabVIEW (Help -> Find Examples). Just search for "DLL".

Please provide a better explanation of what you are trying to do.

I think he wants to know which DLL to call, the function name and its parameters to pop a standard Windows messagebox, with the standard (?), /!\ or (X) icons and stuff.

MSDN has an article on the MessageBox() function in user32.dll: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms645505(v=vs.85).aspx

OK, that makes sense. In that case, attached is a simple example that replicates the last example on that page.

Minor improvement: If you connect the "windows hWnd" of a toplevel vi you prevent that the messagebox is "hidden" by that frontpanel when you click on it! To see the difference run the VI from the Front Panel.
